| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @bigkidz - You are a wealth of information, and between you and Charles1dad helped me decide on purchasing the Pro-Ject CD Box. I was very fortunate that I was able to return the second CD Box for refund, so I do not have one to offer up. The CE... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @stuartk - Thanks for your insights! I recall, from another thread, you briefly owned the Pro-Ject CD Box. How would you compare the sound quality, presentation etc.. between your Jay's CD transport and the Pro-Ject? Thanks! David | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @thyname Thanks for weighing in. Have been reading/comparing the two Jay's transports recommended here. Have you compared either to the Pro-Ject CD Box? And what do you mean by "house sound"? Thanks! David | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @lalitk - Much appreciated. I’ve done research and the Aqua La Diva M2 regularly shows up as a transport with the characteristics I appreciate. It has the CD Pro-8S CD transport, which is the same one in the Pro-Ject CD Box. Have you heard the or... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @knock1 - I went from the CXC, which is a decent transport, to the Pro-Ject and it was audio nirvana. How would you compare/contrast the CXC and your Jay's Audio CDT2 MKIII? It's on my radar, for sure. As I mentioned I'm looking for highly resol... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @lalitk - @twoleftears- Thanks for the recommendations! Have you heard either the TEAC or the Shanling? | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @charles1dad - Glad to hear from you! When the Pro-Ject worked it was glorious. Glad you are enjoying yours. Reputation/reliability is definitely important. BTW, your jazz recommendations, sometime back, have brought hours of great listening ple... | |

| 6DJ8 vs. 6922? Joe's Tube Lore, over at another audio site is great for 6dj8 and 6922 tubes. https://www.audioasylum.com/scripts/d.pl?audio/faq/joes-tubes.html#6DJ8 | |
| Aurender N10 question… @jl1ny -I agree with @lalitk . I listened to both side by side and the N200 is better. Better resolution, PRaT, and transparency. FWIW, I currently have the N100, which sounded terrific with an R2R DAC, not so much with the ES9038PRO SABRE DAC I... | |
| Jolida JD100S @slovell -If you like the JD100 sound, yes. I still have mine (purchased in 2003), and periodically listen to it in a mid-fi system (Onkyo integrated and Audio Physic Yara speakers). BUT-for similar price you can get a better CD player, or DAC an... | |
| Bought an Audio Research Amp @rfnoise -At 200W a channel, you have A LOT of choices. Given your tastes in music I would agree with the poster who said Sonus Faber. I'd also add Totem and the Spendor A or D series. Each speaker has terrific PRaT which is something your ARC com... | |
| Bought an Audio Research Amp @rfnoise - "I’m thinking maybe trying some different speakers might be my next move. If anyone has any thoughts on what pairs well with the gear I have in a small room mid/nearfield setup I’d love to hear them. " What are your musical tastes and... | |
| Bought an Audio Research Amp @rfnoise -Congratulations! Few things in this hobby compare to finding a piece of audio equipment that exceed expectations. I moved up the ARC foodchain, starting with a LS3B pre-amp. Once you get hooked on the ARC sound (not overly warm/romantic ... |
